the Curvy Dream Chair

SCREENSHOTS
Finally; a chair to go with the Curvy Desk. Another bentwood eyecatcher from Daedalus Industries to strain your Sims' budgets.
I got the inspiration for this chair from a real chair designed by Tadao Ando, called the Dream Chair.
The wood base and the seat cushions are independently recolorable. There are two sets of recolors included in the package: The first is the base and seat recolors from the Plasticity Nodepod, from which this object was cloned, and the second is the base colors from the Chiclettina Execudrone Desk (that has been the anchor of all my "Curvy" furniture) with an invisible seat recolor. I don't necessarily recommend using the invisible recolor if you are using one of the Nodepod bases, since the shadows for those bases are drawn on the textures themselves and look kinda weird without the seat cushions.
There are two files here, but you only need ONE. They both have the same GUID, so you can only put one of them in your game anyway. Which one you need is more or less a matter of taste, as the only difference is that the file labeled [PETs-later] has pet motives added (dogs chewing it up, cat sleeping on it). The file labeled [pre-PETs] is of course necessary for Basegames or games with only EPs & SPs that were released prior to PETs. It should work exactly the same for any Sims 2 game configuration, for those (like myself) who don't want animals tearing up the furniture.
Some Technical Information:
All textures are EAxis, with minimal alterations in GIMP.
In-game location : Seating>Diningroom
In-game price: 487
Total polygons (faces) - 1315 (kinda high-but the price of having curves)
Tools used:
Blender 2.78c
GIMP 2.8 SimPE Compressorizer
Polygon Counts:
base - 831
seat - 434
posts - 48
shadow - 2

I got the inspiration for this chair from a real chair designed by Tadao Ando, called the Dream Chair.
Hans Wegner designed some groundbreaking and iconic furniture, mostly known for his chairs, in the first half of the 20th century. He did these designs for a Danish company called Carl Hansen & Son, who were one of the major players in establishing the Danish Modern style. In 2013, Carl Hansen & Son commissioned acclaimed Japanese architect Tadao Ando to design a chair to honor the memory of Hans Wegner. The Dream Chair was the result.

This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

About Me
POLICY/TERMS-OF-USE ADDENDUM:
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
